About Fire Prevention Bureau

The Shelton Fire Prevention Bureau is comprised of a core group of volunteer firefighters from each of Shelton's four volunteer fire companies. In addition the bureau partners with the Shelton Youth Service Bureau in a Juvenile Fire-setting Program. The bureau is headed by the Assistant Chief of Fire Prevention, which operates under the auspices of the Fire Marshal's Office.

Our mission is to ensure that all persons and property within the City of Shelton remain safe from the perils of fire. To accomplish this we actively engage in various public education campaigns and programs that focus on various strategies of preventing fire and also preparing for emergencies. Programs not only involve traditional year round interaction with school age children, but also include consultation with businesses, organizations and community associations. We encourage "one-on-one" interaction and any unique efforts that will help achieve our mission and goals.
